need sound deca only advice

[Blicki]

I've been away from training for a couple years now.

My stats are;
36 yrs
5'10"
192 lbs
approx 22%

I've been dealing with a progressive arthritic condition in my spine. Also, had my shoulder scoped 3 months ago.

I've been cleared to work out by the shoulder doc. This time I plan to do so for health rather than size. However, I am planning to start a deca only regimen 3 months on 3months off ............most likely forever strictly for the benefits to my joints, (the meds my doc gives don't do shit.)

Having always combined deca with test in the past, can someone tell me what might i expect from a moderate 250 mg weekly regimen, (i.e. results, sex drive.) Thank you.

Are you saying you want to ruyn deca only? If that is the case I would not suggest it. If you want to do a low dose cycle, make it test only, or go with 250mg test e per week, 200mg deca per week. Some people like deca alone, but I am not a fan of it. I would rather do a test only cycle.

i would assume that it will pretty much mess up your sex drive. with deca only and 3 months on and 3 off...

ill bump for ya. But i probably would not do it

dude ur sex drive should be okay, i ran at 300mg e/w for 7 weeks gained 10lbs and kept it all now over 6 months out, i was very impressed actually, take a proper pct, take your time off and be smart about errrr thing. ive done deca only cycles 2x, get a few posts from people who have done this, everyone says you have to run deca with test, not the case, personal experience tells me so, just keep the dose low...... btw swolek are you swolekat? or swole cat or somthing like that from this board while back? okay... years back?

u wont get a lot of gains but it will help ur joints,regarding the sex drive u might b ok on a low dose ul have 2 see how it goes, but if u do get deca dick viagra work a treat!

 

[tempest2003]

i dunno i think u will still see some gains at that dose, deca is good shit

 

[NURSEPIMP]

250mg weekly should be fine and not effect the sex drive at all. Gains would be minimal.

I beleive I read somewhere that the joint benefits from Decca can be felt at a dose as low as 100mg per week..

Good luck,

i tried 200mg every 5 days and did not notice anything apart from my minor niggles stopped aching.just felt completely normal apart from one of my nips gave me trouble when i stopped after about 5 weeks. however i gain very well of 1 shot of sust per week so i thought deca would work the same. it did not but definitely noticed less aches especially in my back and troublesome shoulder

IMO if you wanted to run DECA only, this is how i'd do it...

run NPP instead of DECA ...quick to kick in and to discontinue if need be also easier to adjust the dose

keep some quick acting TEST on hand, like PROP, in case you start to suffer low TEST sides

run PROV with you NPP

The reason he wants to run the deca is for joint issues, so running test only isnt going to help him at all, it will actually do the opposite. So no point in that.

Some solid advise in the other posts, npp is a better bet, easier to adjust the dosage if you need to, and definitely keep some test prop on hand in case you need it.

Deca and Test


If you have arthritis in the spine, I don’t know what good deca will do for it,

But if you build up your back muscle and lats, that will help your spine a lot.

And if you build up all of your muscles, it will help all of your joints

Deca can fill joints with fluid, not a lot of Capsulated joints in the spine.


You would benefit from

Deca
Test
Anti E
PCT


Given you know training, diet, sleep, all the basics.

Deca only advice:
don't do it alone...

 

[NURSEPIMP]

I seriously think the dose can be lowered and still have the joint benefits.

Also, if you wanted to keep the prop on hand for emergencies that makes sense too, but I dont think it will be a problem at all.

Good luck

deca at 250-350 will see good results and joint problems gone. Just have to be patient with it.

Nope. just SwolK

 

[NURSEPIMP]

Ha, I remeber that name from way back..
He isnt here anymore huh!?

 

[Blicki]

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Restated, my primary goal is to relieve the pain in my back and hip. Therefore I expect to keep the dose low, around 250.

I think I understand "The Good Sun's" suggestion to choose NPP.....(it clears quicker allowing me to effectively lower the doseage quickly if I get sides, i.e limp dick)....Is that correct?

Is it recommended that NPP be administerded every 3 days like Prop?

 

[NURSEPIMP]

E 3 days would not be ideal though. ED would be best to keep those blood levels nice and even..

Good luck man,

this is some solid advice, short acting esters are where its at
